Over the last few days, I was tending to a business assignment at my former college (Southern Illinois University at Carbondale). To save travel time, I chose to fly in. To do that I have to fly from St. Louis to Williamson County Regional Airport, Marion. Little did I know they have switched airline (From Great Lakes Airlines to Cape Air). Great Lakes was using the fleet similar to the one below a year ago.
Beechcraft 1900Fast forward to the future, here is the fleet that ferried me to Marion, a Cessna model 402.

Could you spot the similar instrument that is used in the car? Hint: Very useful if you are lost

About to land (See the landing strip)
Needless to say it was not a bad experience as related by the president of our communication agency. It was a bit bumpy but overall not a bad ride. If you have not had the chance of flying a Cessna, I strongly suggest you try it. At least now I can say I have ridden the smallest plane in my life.
